Enough Musk Spam

For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.

No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.

Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.

Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.

Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

It's not genius, it's just the same bullshit Trump has been doing this whole time...

It's really simple manipulation that any idiot can learn by simply not caring who they hurt on the way to perfecting the formula.

It's why narcissists are often so successful.

It is genius because of how simple it is. Trump may not get away with it but that’s because he was President. Elon can’t be President so the scrutiny on him will be much lower.

Remember before all the Obama birth certificate nonsense, there were some republicans who wanted to relax the "natural born" citizenship requirements so Schwarzenegger could run for president? I won't be surprised if they start floating that one again.
